Oklahoma Woman on 'Most Wanted' List Arrested After Commenting on Police's Facebook Post
An Oklahoma woman, who was on the "Most Wanted" list of the Tulsa Police Department, was arrested after commenting on the police department's Facebook post about her status as a fugitive.
Lorraine Graves was wanted as an accessory to the murder of Eric Graves, who was killed last March, according to a Law and Crime report.
On Wednesday, the police department posted on their Facebook page that Lorraine Graves is "charged with Accessory to Murder," with the detectives saying she was involved in the city's 10th homicides of 2021.
The police department then described Graves as a Black female, around 5'7″ and 200 lbs. Hours after the police department's post, Lorraine Graves commented and asked about the reward money for any information that can lead to her arrest.
"What's where's the reward money at," the suspect wrote on the department's post. The following day, detectives with the Tulsa Police Department's Fugitive Warrants unit arrested Graves.
"Weekly Most Wanted arrested after commenting on our post about her," the department said in another Facebook post.
According to the detectives, they arrested the Oklahoma woman in north Tulsa, with a bond set at $500,000, KOCO News reported.

Lorraine Graves' Facebook Comment
Reports said that Lorraine Graves is a relative of Eric Graves, who initially gave detectives an interview. Police said two other suspects were already charged with murder for shooting and killing Eric at the St. Thomas Square Apartments.
The two other suspects were identified as Jayden Hopson and Gabriel Hopson, New York Post reported.
Lorraine Graves' comment had elicited some response from other Facebook users. One person said that the Oklahoma woman should not have commented as police can track her by using social media.
Another Facebook user said that it's not going to be funny when the Oklahoma woman gets processed. Another one asked if Graves gets her reward money after the news of her arrest circulated.
Graves' comment has since been deleted. However, the police department's post about the Oklahoma woman's capture has gone viral, with more than 1,200 comments, as of Sunday, July 18.
Eric Graves' Murder Case
A judge issued a warrant last week after a material witness failed to appear at a preliminary hearing in light of Eric's murder case. Wendell Alexander is sought for his eyewitness testimony in Eric's case, Tulsa World reported.
The police department had shared a photo of the said witness and asked anyone with information on his whereabouts to contact Tulsa Crime Stoppers.
Alexander allegedly told detectives that he would be at the hearing on July 7. However, he failed to show up. Prosecutors wrote in the arrest warrant request that it was the only practical way to get a hold of the said witness.
Lorraine Graves was also subpoenaed for the same hearing, and she did appear. However, she told a victim-witness advocate that she would no longer cooperate in the investigation. The Oklahoma woman added that she no longer remembers anything she told detectives earlier.
Alexander was said to be in the room where the shooting occurred. He was also shot when the suspects opened fire.
The witness told detectives that Jayden was upset as the woman whom he was interested in liked Eric. The Hopsons pulled their guns on Eric, and Eric started shooting them as well.
Court documents also claimed that Lorraine Graves had effectively facilitated the discarding of the possible murder weapon when she later gave Gabriel a ride.
In addition, the Oklahoma woman also did not try to notify the police with the information she had about Eric's death before her family notified the authorities.
